ACT IV., SCENE I.

Enter Votarius, with Anselmus's Lady.

Vot. Pray, forgive me, madam; come, thou shalt!

Wife. I' faith, 'twas strangely done, sir.

Vot. I confess it.

Wife. Is that enough to help it, sir? 'tis easy
To draw a lady's honour in suspicion,
But not so soon recover'd, and confirm'd
To the first faith again, from whence you brought it:
Your wit was fetch'd out about other business,
Or such forgetfulness had never seiz'd you.

Vot. 'Twas but an overflowing, a spring tide
In my affection, rais'd by too much love;
And that's the worst words you can give it, madam.
